THE PERK

(Sphere/Little Brown UK, March 2008 )

“THE PERK has mystery, humour and history along with well-drawn characters that the reader will actually care about. As is often the case in legal thrillers, there is a mix of those characters that take the moral high ground and those who seem just out for their own good. Unusually, there are also a few comic and slightly caricatured figures here as well – but they all fit well together in the plot. Together with great characters and a strong plot there is also lots of interesting historical information. The ending may not be what is expected but it is all the better for it and proves to be a good finish to an excellent book. As ever, Gimenez is highly recommended, impossible to put down and definitely not to be missed.”CrimeSquad (UK)

“Remember when John Grisham exploded on to the courtroom drama market with novels of breathtaking brilliance? Lightning just struck twice.”The Daily Record (Scotland)

“Just as well I started The Perk on the weekend, as I couldn’t put down this book. . . . This one’s a cracker – neatly woven subplots, a taut thriller and a wonderfully current statement on American popular culture.”Kerre’s Book Reviews (UK)

“Gimenez fills the John Grisham hole in the legal-thriller genre so well there may be no room left for Grisham.”The Sunday Times (Perth AUS)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
